One of the best Game Boy Advance games is moving to arcades thanks to a tie-up between SEGA and Nintendo. SEGA announced today that it will release an arcade version of Rhythm Tengoku, a GBA rhythm game from the makers of Wario Ware. The arcade version is being developed by SEGA.

Like the original portable version, the arcade adaptation will feature simple timing-based gameplay. SEGA is also working on multiplayer aspects of the game in order to attract families and couples. When two players finish a game session, they'll get a compatibility rating.

The Game Boy Advance Rhythm Tengoku was Japan-only. Hopefully, SEGA's arcade distribution channels will come through and give the arcade version an international release. The Japanese version is set to begin operation this Fall.
